[Chamber president Tom Donohue would] like to start by chipping away at the President's legislative achievements such as health-care and financial reform, which must still be implemented at the regulatory level.

In short, the battles between the chamber and the White House are far from over. "Oh, hell no," Donohue laughs. "They are in the second inning."

Is the White House so tone deaf and arrogant that they think the President himself can accuse a group of committing crimes and then kiss and make up a few weeks later? Obama made his bed attacking business. I hope he finds it comfy. -Ben

Don't know who they're in bed with. Of course the chamber is still at war with the american people. They will continue to hammer away until every blue collar worker in this country is making 3rd world wages with no benefits to speak of. Only then will they ask for a cease fire or declare mission accomplished.

how can conservatives call themselves patriots when they side with a man and an organization whose prime mission is to ship american jobs to china? tom donahue : "there are legitimate values in outsourcing."

The warring against those he sees as his “enemies” will never end with this community agitator/Marxist/socialist/liberal. He worships the teaching of Saul Alinsky. ..............you do understand this is gobbledygook.

huh? republicans voted against a small business proposal that included in it tax cuts galore. a small business bill that would have increased lending and spurred jobs. it's republicans who voted against small business.

Huh, Are you so stupid that you didn't see what the Chamber of Commerce just did, they solicited money from foreign countries, guaranteeing that the money would be well spent on republican candidates who would continue to vote against keeping American jobs here in America. The COC tried to defend their position saying that there was "value" in outsourcing American jobs. Well, we all know what that "value" is, it isn't enough that the CEO's from major corporations make on average $517 MILLION a year, no, they have to sell American jobs to foreign countries to live their luxurious lifestyles. I also thought the COC wanted to create jobs in THIS country until their hypocrisy was exposed.

The Chamber of Commerce is nothing more than a far right organization that has endorsed the outsourcing of American jobs. They won't disclose what they did with the money they received from foreign countries, almost $500 million unaccounted for.

I love how people say Obama is anti-business when money is flooding into the banking sector from the Fed, corporate profits are at record levels, and the stock market has been skyrocketing the past year.
Local branches of the Chamber of Commerce are dissociating themselves from the US Chamber because they don't represent small business at all.
The New York Times found that while boasting of representing 3 million businesses, nearly half of the US Chamber's $140 million in contributions in 2008 came from just 45 donors, including such small business as Dow Chemical, Goldman Sachs, News Corp, Prudential Financial, and AIG.
They're a joke, just like the Tea Party dupes who think somehow the US Chamber has their best interest at heart.

Sam, Remember when the stock market went past l4,000 when Bush was president, and that was after 9/11. Then all hell broke loose and the market tanked. Today it reached another high again. And speaking of business doing well, how about the profits last quarter, up for almost every business, many having their best profits ever. Now businesses are sitting a couple trillion in cash, it's time to get out there and hire!

I am amazed at the socialistic flock's whining. You have a president(?) whose abuse of powers and trampling of the Constitution are unprecedented since FDR, and they support him! You can certainly fool some of the people all of the time. And every liberal democrat and republican fits into that category. When are assessing blame for the financial crisis you continually overlook the king pins. Clinton, Summers, Carter, Frank, Dodd, Greenspan, Ruben et al. To see you must utilize not only your eyes, but your intelligence.

Thank you Commerce for doing your part in saving this country and capitalism. Now start working to pressure to lower the corp tax rate and bring companies back home. The progressives will fight this because they are in fact the ones who want to spread the wealth to other countries and build up the unions in those countries.

What about Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX)? Tommy knows little to nothing about business. Every time he opens his mouth, he just a hack with platitudes. He cares about his power trip funded by hedge funds and easy money from the financial economy.
SOX should be one of their top priorities. Instead, they are coordinating with the Republican party on health care. They had a seat at the table. They contributed little.
Tom is a little petty, bag man for ripping the public of with more bailouts and poor health care, and the media is dominated by these right-wing crooks and their media like Politico, CNBC ( ya don't talk for business), and Republican Fox Network.
They replaced the old RINOS with new ones and the voters got played.
